Polychlorinated diphenyl sulfides (PCDPSs) are dioxin-like compounds that could induce various adverse effects to organisms. However, little is known about the occurrence of PCDPSs in the riverine environment. In the present study, the concentrations of twenty-one types of PCDPSs in the surface sediments and in surface water from the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River were examined. A total of 19 types of PCDPSs were detected and 鈭慞CDPSs concentrations in surface sediment and surface water ranged from 0.10 to 6.90 ng/g and 0.18 to 2.03 ng/L, respectively. The 2,2鈥?4,4鈥?5-penta-CDPS was the dominant congener in sediment (19.9%) and 2,2鈥?3,3鈥?tetra-CDPS was the most abundant congener in water (12.2%). The tetra-CDPSs were the dominant congeners both in sediment and in water. Compared with sediment, the percentage of lower chlorinated PCDPSs in water increased distinctly. Source analysis revealed that the PCDPSs in the sediment and in the water mainly came from chemical wastewater rather than domestic sewage. There was a significant linear correlation between 鈭慞CDPS concentrations and sediment TOC contents, while no linear correlation existed between 鈭慞CDPS concentrations and water DOC contents. This study demonstrated the prevalent contamination by PCDPSs in sediments and in water from the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River.
